Perception of airway resistance has a sensory and an affective aspect, i.e., perceived resistance and unpleasantness, respectively. The current study aimed to shed more light on the relationship of these aspects, as well as their malleability to trait-like aspects of body awareness. In a laboratory study, 71 young participants completed two respiratory resistive load discrimination tasks relying on sensory and affective evaluation, respectively, and filled out questionnaires assessing somatosensory amplification, anxiety sensitivity, somatic symptoms distress, and breath awareness. Frequentist and Bayesian statistical analysis revealed no differences in discrimination accuracy with respect to the sensory and affective aspect of perceived resistance. Psychological traits were not associated with accuracy scores. In conclusion, affective evaluation of respiratory load is as accurate as sensory evaluation. Neither sensory not affective accuracy is influenced by various aspects of body awareness.

气道阻力的感知具有感觉和情感方面，即分别感知阻力和不愉快。目前的研究旨在更多地阐明这些方面的关系，以及它们对身体意识的特征方面的可塑性。在一项实验室研究中，71 名年轻参与者分别依靠感觉和情感评估完成了两项呼吸阻力负荷辨别任务，并填写了评估体感放大、焦虑敏感性、躯体症状困扰和呼吸意识的问卷。频率论和贝叶斯统计分析显示，在感知阻力的感觉和情感方面，辨别准确性没有差异。心理特征与准确性得分无关。总之，呼吸负荷的情感评估与感觉评估一样准确。感觉和情感的准确性都不受身体意识各个方面的影响。
